Sol 5.6

  1. Say to him whose face was like the radiance of

    the sun in its beauty, and like a luminous full moon:

  2. You were the adornment of the living while you dwelt among them;

    then indeed you became the adornment of those in the graves.

  3. May my father be your ransom—in life and in dea—

    —th, beneath the earth, and on the Day of Resurrection.

  4. You betrayed me in my absence, and betrayal is abhorrent,

    and infamous throughout the ages gone by.

  5. So my sword healed me, swiftly slashing through

    the collarbones outright, and cutting throats.
